new tank, new light system, what to get

[scubagal8]

hi everyone,
I had a saltwater tank for a couple of years in the 90's . I am finally ready for a new tank system and wow have things changed! I've gone to 10 different stores and get almost that many different recommendations for tanks, lighting, equipment. I'll be getting a fish only tank and would like to have a light system that turns on/off and simulates the sun direction/intensity. Any suggestions?
tia,
Lori

I just got a Coralife Seascape LED and love it! It has a remote control to change lighting strength and also has a sunrise sunset feature.

Just get whatever you want for a fish-only. The fish will not care. This could be anywhere from a T5 shop light with a few marine bulbs to an expensive LED system with apps and stuff. The more features that you want, the more you will need to spend. Nothing will be cheaper than a $10 light timer.

Hi! I just purchased this light but it came out of box with no manual so I can’t figure how to use the remote.. would you mind either helping me figure out how to do the timer or send pictures of the manual where it tells how? TIA!
